Understand this thing is good for loud music. Is it also as good for something more nuanced, like classical at lower volume levels?

Its a pretty good speaker. Although, this is more a "Let's go party outside!" type of speaker. If you want good audio quality, go for something designed for acoustics not durability.

It should be fine on the low setting. Even if it's a bit too loud for your taste, you can always place a dish towel over it to muffle it a bit more!

It has a nice full sound, not super loud... Should be fine, it's louder than it's size indicates... Don't expect high volumes

I do not think it is really loud, so depends on how loud you want. I think it would probably work for what you want. You might need to have it on the highest setting.

Yeah it has a very good sound... I use this amplifier with a piano and you just need to equalize very good LOW, MID and HIGH depending on the type of instrument you are reproducing. Of course it is small, dont think that you are going to play in a concert with a lot of people, its more like just for you and practice with your band or monitor yourself...

I use it for the same reason you're asking about but don't expect optimum sound clarity with this device, I too was a little skeptical at first but it proved that it could handle the type of music I listen to. It will definitely increase your volume/bass/treble but that depends on you. I've tried many different types of computer speakers, high & low-end to boot and ended up returning a set of Bowers and Wilkins MM1's and ended up with the Bose system. If you listen to heavy-bass music, don't waste your time with it unless you have speakers that can handle the output. Yes, same applies to your headphones. I'm using the B&W; P7 and they sound great... IMHO. Hope this helps.

Definitely. It's got some settings that are really crunchy. I think you'd be very happy with it playing that kind of music. Even on just 2-3 it's pretty darn loud. I haven't got it past 5 and it was cranking.

If you want a sound bar, it's probably a good choice. It sounds good but doesn't have a huge bass response, so it's less likely to carry. Just keep it turned down to a reasonable level.

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

If you wish, you can, it does have a good volume. It also has an adaptive button that plays louder when other sounds compete.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

I find it is plenty loud, but I have not been around a lot of people or noise when listening to it. I think it is meant for personal use and not a party speaker.

I use it ONLY for music and it's a steal at this price. It's very punchy and loud especially when placed properly in the corner of a room. Had to remove some pictures off the wall in my room because the sub was threatening to shake them off at half volume.

I feel that this DV-52 is sufficient enough in my circumstance. I use it for a center channel in a 5.1 system setup in a 11.5' x 18' room. I enjoy classical music and vocal singings, of cause watch TV as well. Vocal signals (~800 Hz) come out loud and clear from its 5.25" element, yet it does not over power my main speakers for the highs and lows. I believe this is what a center speaker suppose to be. If you prefer a stronger signal from the center channel, or you use it as a sole speaker in a mono system, then go for the DV-62.

Yes, its very good at lower volume. My wife doesn't like very loud music, so that's I have it most of the time. We also have a very small house.

Absolutely! That is what I mostly use it for. And when you want to listen to music it does not disappoint. It is great for both.

I have been using our amplifier for well over a year. Great for PA or music. We use it at trail races but medium volume is all I can handle. Play Spotify through it mostly.
